In this episode, we dive into the creative journey of TV writer Brian D. Bradley, whose childhood love for comic books sparked a lifelong passion for storytelling. Growing up in a small Midwestern town, Brian used his paper route earnings to fund regular trips to the comic shop—feeding an imagination shaped by the worlds of Marvel and DC.
Though he once dreamed of becoming an artist, Brian soon realized his real talent was in crafting stories. His early DIY comic universes laid the foundation for a successful career in television, with credits on MADtv, Scrubs, Star Trek: Lower Decks, and more.
Tune in as Brian shares how those early panels and punchlines continue to shape his work—and why your childhood obsessions might just be your greatest creative asset.
